Fishing and Boating as a Way of Life

As we get ready to close out National Fishing & Boating Week (although you still have this weekend!), take a quick ride along Alaska’s Kuskokwim River in the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge with Chris Tulik, one of our Refuge Information Technicians. Out here, fishing and boating are a way of life, and employees like Chris travel hundreds of miles along the river each year to work hand in hand with local communities to conserve wild Alaska salmon that so many depend on.
